Reading the passage
Whose view are we being asked for? Many lay people see this communication as “brainwashing done by experts.” So our prediction is manipulation: they think experts are trying to make them accept a conclusion.
Working the answers
- A
No such belief about excessive attention to mundane hazards is attributed to the public.
- BCorrect
“Brainwashing” is the direct support. People see communication used to persuade them as a means of manipulation.
- C
We aren't told that people regard it as a major source of scientific misinformation. Distrusting the communicators' purpose doesn't establish that belief.
- D
This is what the writers say communication should do, not what lay people believe it usually does. Both the speaker and the claim have changed.
- E
This reflects the writers' explanation of why existing knowledge matters. The question asks for the public's view, and no one attributes this assessment to them.
